Unmask and Meet Your Wisdom Self
My latest video creation is to a song I made from a guided active imagination exercise included in my latest Psychemagination book, Unmasking the Essential Self. The lyrics are below the video, but you’ll need to get the book for the actual guided practice – the lyrics aren’t enough to guide you; they just give an idea of where the exercise takes you. The song is a great one for dancing to. I love the chorus especially. Sometimes I can’t believe that I actually sing these songs into the music generator! But there it is. That’s how I get these songs. The paperback is available now, and the ebook will be out on June 5th. Order it now. Sit down, be still, let your spine align, Relax your shoulders, let your neck unwind. Close your eyes, take a breath so deep, Exhale slow, let your worries sleep. Drop your mind…
Do You See the Sacred All Around?
Have you ever had one of those moments when you look around and suddenly everything looks a little different? When something the moment prior you might have seen as very ordinary takes on a special shade of vibrancy that speaks to a deeper level of reality. When the ordinary becomes extraordinary and you see the sacred in the mundane. Have you ever felt that? That’s where the song for this video came from. It’s also good to dance to. I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know if you do. If you like my video art, consider supporting my endeavours in that field by buying a book or a song.

Blue Dragons Revealed | A World Beyond Reality
Fantasy worlds. My imaginative mind has always created them. From the time I was very young, I created imaginary worlds and lived in them every day after my return home from school. (Interesting note: Carl Jung did too. He talks about it in his autobiography.) That imagination created visual theatre performances – my living for 20 years – came up with the Diamond Peak Fantasy Series, and the Ella Smith Series – presently comprising World Within Worlds and The Locksmith’s Secret – and now, with the assistance of AI, it’s creating more visual theatre but in video form. What I love about AI art is the ability to make those worlds come to life, and my blue dragon realm, filled with lizard people, flying horses and, of course, blue dragons, is one of those worlds. I first created it back when AI video generation was pretty poor, so I thought…
Could Elves and Fairies Actually Exist?
We don’t see the radio and television waves or the electricity that make our televisions work so there are things that we don’t perceive but that do, nevertheless, exist. And television is just one example. That means that other phenomena, and perhaps even beings, could also exist that we simply aren’t aware of. It’s perfectly possible, is it not? I explore this idea in my latest AI art music video. Lyrics below. Do you recognise the demon? Let me know in the comments. [verse 1] We don’t see the air but we feel it move through We don’t see the wind but we see what it moves [chorus] So it’s perfectly possible beings exist we can’t see in the rocks, in the flowers in the air, in the trees [verse 2] We don’t see microwaves but they cook our food We don’t see emotions but they set our mood [chorus]…
Open Like a Lotus: Guided Listening Meditation in a Song
Meditation can be approached many different ways, which is great for those who tend to get bored easily. Instead of doing the same thing everyday, we can change our approach depending on how we feel. After all, what’s important for our mental clarity and focus is that we do some form of meditation each day. It doesn’t matter what kind of meditation it is. All meditation has one thing in common – an object on which to focus such as: The last two are not a good starting point for beginners as it’s easier to be distracted with them, but once we become familiar with meditation, these are very powerful methods of meditation. But no matter what kind of object you choose to focus on, after a while the sense of separation between the meditator and the object tends to dissolve leaving us simply resting in awareness of the present…
Earth Praise: Why it’s Important
As a species, we’ve reached a painful turning point. Animals are vanishing, ecosystems are collapsing, climate disasters are becoming commonplace, and even our communities are fracturing under the weight of fear and division. Beneath all of this lie two root causes: greed, and a profound loss of connection to the earth — the very mother who sustains us. Many Westerners dismiss shamanic and animist cultures as primitive or superstitious, yet these traditions hold something we desperately need to remember: relationship. Their songs, rituals, and offerings were never about persuading the earth or the sky to grant favours. They were about cultivating humility. About remembering that we are part of a living web, not masters standing above it. Praise, in this context, isn’t magical thinking — it’s an attitude. A way of keeping the heart soft and the ego small. A way of staying aware of our interdependence with everything that…
Elves of the Moon Tree: Inhabitants of the Psychemagination Universe
My latest video art is a family-friendly fantasy of AI art visuals set to magical instrumental music – best experienced with headphones – that takes you through a magical forest day in the village of the elves of the Moon Tree clan. Witness enchanting forest spirits and fairy music that creates a captivating forest ambience. This visual journey through the veil to the otherworld to join the Moon Tree Elven clan for their full-moon celebrations invites you to connect with the spirit magic hidden in the forest. Watch their full moon ritual with a magical surprise, then wonder if it was all a dream. This is a story I first made as a narrated video back in August 2024 when image and video generation capabilities were far inferior to what they are today. I like the theme and characters so much that I decided to redo it. This is much…
Why Feeling Bad Is Okay: The Power of Emotional Acceptance
The Happiness Trap What if I told you that feeling bad isn’t just normal—it’s necessary? For years, I believed that the ultimate goal in life was to be happy. I thought happiness was the pinnacle of existence, and that chasing enlightenment would lead me to a state of perpetual joy. After all, isn’t that what we’re told? That happiness is the ultimate destination? But here’s the thing: life doesn’t work that way. The Problem with Chasing Happiness Everywhere we look, we’re bombarded with images of happiness. Social media, for example, is a highlight reel of perfect moments. Instagram feeds are filled with airbrushed models, exotic vacations, and celebrations of life’s best moments. It’s easy to look at these curated snapshots and think, Why doesn’t my life look like that? You wake up feeling awful, maybe with a pimple on your face or a heavy heart, and suddenly, your life feels…
How a Gardening Accident Taught Me the Power of Gratitude
Have you ever had one of those moments where life throws you a curveball, and you’re left wondering how to make sense of it all? For me, it was a gardening accident—a painful, messy, and frankly embarrassing experience. But what surprised me most wasn’t the injury itself; it was the unexpected lesson it taught me about gratitude. And it ended up as a song and a video! Read the full story and what I learned below the video. The Problem: When Life Feels Overwhelming Let’s face it—life can be tough. Whether it’s the state of the world, personal struggles, or just the daily grind, it’s easy to feel weighed down. And when disaster strikes, it’s tempting to fall into the trap of negativity. Do you ever find yourself asking, “Why me?” or focusing on everything that’s going wrong? It’s a natural reaction, but it can leave us stuck in a cycle…
An Uplifting Mantra Meditation: Great Meditation for ADHD
Meditation for ADHD is recommended by ADHD Treatment Australia and many mental health professionals as a way to improve ADHD symptoms. I have found it vital for the management of my ADHD. But not all forms of meditation work well for those with ADHD. Here’s a run down of my experience: An uplifting chant My latest AI art music video is to an uplifting mantra chant that can be used for mantra meditation. Chant along and let the mantra guide you into inner peace and awareness. This 7-minute mantra meditation moves from the familiar world of breath and body, gently into the luminous inner landscape, and back again. The mantra Om Maha Vajra Hung is an invocation of great awareness, the vast stillness that is always present, beneath the noise of thought. As you chant feel you mind opening into greater awareness. Awareness of your breath, of the sound of…
